Those who pre-order the device for delivery on the first day will get:

Limited edition controller

Token to unlock an exclusive “Day One” achievement

Special packaging for the console

Special decal to commemorate the launch.

Potentially more

We’re not quite sure how all of this looks just yet, but it doesn’t cost a dime extra. If you were considering buying the Xbox One on launch date then there’s no reason you shouldn’t want all of these goods. If you’ve already made your mind up on whether or not you want this console you can head to Amazon and pre-order yours today. Don’t forget — Amazon won’t charge you until it ships!

THe whole thing can be considered Marketing.. Keep tabs on what you watch, what you play, who is in the room when you watch or play and forced to check in at least once a day to report it all back to Microsoft so they can sell the info to their advertisers and make money off of you. All this for you spending $500 on their product. Such a deal. Well in this game of Deal or No Deal I say NO DEAL

Unless the “Potentially More” includes a DRM/Spy shutoff switch so people can actually enjoy games on the console instead of worrying what “data” is being collected while they are using the console then forget it.

If after first day, everyone has to pay the same price but they don’t get those couple (admittedly small) things then I don’t see what everyone is complaining about. Something for Nothing :)
